Our Story
A story of passion and expertise
Beryl Henderson was a passionate gardener living in North London, who had a vision for a new kind of garden centre. She wanted to create a transformative space that would redefine the urban gardening experience: a centre featuring quality plants from specialist growers and friendly, knowledgeable staff.
She was widely recognised as an inspirational force within the industry and through N1, she was able to bring her two passions of gardening and business together. Sadly, Beryl passed away on 1 January 2025.
Established for twenty-six years, the family and Paul Holt at N1 continue her legacy, most recently winning a Chelsea Flower Show Gold Award in 2021. By connecting with the urban gardening movement, N1 continues to attract innovative suppliers within horticulture, design, and home accessories, making gardening accessible and inspirational to experts and beginners alike.
